Frame Bends, this is what happens when it's getting hot

Hope everyone reads from page 36 (well all pages) to fully grasp and understand it's The Bend

Woke up after only 5hrs of sleep, to excited to sleep longer, jumped up to test out the g2, and post results..

Smooth as silk, not hot, and fully functional except ¼ of dead zone to the right of display.. Looks to be Jitter free.. it seems during my frustrations with this Horrible issue i may have burned up a line on the frame.. see images below, frame touch..

Sure i feel it's at Least usable, would i trust it to Jump to the call of duty when drastically need it?

no i don't think so..

So i need a screen assembly.. or Trash it with a hammer Laughing like a wild man, and use my battery sucking slow Circle themed g3.. sorry i don't like all icons a bunch of circles.. and for some reason, the g2 wipes the g3 out in every test every bench.. hmmm search youtube on that, it's kinda funny..

so i've Been searching, and see all the different Horror stories on fake 966x544 displays, some that are not ips, even some open lcd/digitizer with no gorilla glass at all.. (i have one of these as well it sucks) displays that squish when you press on them..

What to do. . . well the Wild Man with a Hammer comes to mind..

Just bought this Stupid thing 2 months ago for 179.99 untouched never turned on..

And LG says 153.00 more please.. No warranty because you bought it from ebay, Funny..

Remember, if doing screen swap, do frame lcd digitizer together, or at least bend that frame back straight..

and pull it out of your pocket when going to sit

LG should have caught this and tape protected this area. . .

unless they Knew, and to save 5¢ kept it hush hush

Ridiculous. . . LG's version of Bendgate thanks for Ripping me off LG
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael Gee:
someone tell me where to get a good Thick display assembly frame..

let's keep it as cheap as possible (cash wise) already Wasted a few hundred here with two worthless g2's

so i'll give it one last shot before the Wild Man comes out to play with this thing..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Ebay man!

Search my thread and have fun reading through all the different screens I went through.

Take my advice or leave it...the phone's are cheap now.

Search Ebay and find one under 60.

Pull the frame and keep the remaining parts for spares.....done!

1. You get 100% OEM screen

2. You save ALOT of time vs playing the screen lottery game like many of us did
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betatest3:
So, guys, I am planning on buying a new LG G2 some time soon(I have the Leon right now),I had a G2 before, but the screen shattered.

I want to know, are the touchscreen problems actually resolved, or not, if I buy one, will I have any problems, my last G2 did not have any major problems.

I NEVER put my phone in my back pocket, it is never bent, or dropped, or exposed to water, or extreme heat or cold.

I am also thinking about going back to JellyBean 4.2.2 or KitKat 4.4.2, don't ask me why, I just do.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarshisnotMellow:
touchscreen issue are the only bad thing about this piece of art from Lg.

Usually i wont say bad things about the phone i have, but these display issue really breaks the bond and is really really irritating to live with since some of those issues are almost non-repairable. Almost.

But its pure luck to be honest, there are lots of people who never faced display issues, and there are lots of people with common g2 display problems like jittering/flickering, white lines etc.

Though the phone is completly awesome, is still riding smoothly since 3 years, i wouldnt get another one if i had a choice, because theres a big chance one might end up with a model with these common issues. And understand that these issues wont happen immediately or in a day or two, rather it will wait for you to fall in love with G2 all over again, it will let you get addicted, and when youll finally decide that this is it, this is the best phone i ever had, it will take over and ruin your life.

And eventually youll wonder, that maybe i should have bought a 6P when i had the chance :cool:

Or you could just end up with a good G2 :cool:

but the choice is yours.

Good luck :highfive:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betatest3:
I have had a G2 before, and I never had any problems with it, it was rooted, and ran CloudyG2.

I think I am going to get a Verizon G2(even though I am on T-Mobile), because that is the one I had before, I also think, they did not have problems as often as the other variants, I will likely flash JellyBean or Kitkat back to it(I do not like Android 5.0 and up on the G2, battery life is craptastic).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJMacGyver:
I activated the develooper settings to track the screen input, and I could see that each time I pressed the bottom part of the screen there where multiple touches along a horizontal line.

When I took the phone apart and pressed the connector, I could feel it snap into place.

THANKS ALOT for this fix!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotzki:
No worries. In the end it was quite an easy fix and I never experienced any more issues with the phone! I only recently changed to a different model.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0tekk1:
It's funny you mentioned that because that's exactly what I did after buying a defective digitizer lcd glass replacement from Aliexpress. They wouldn't refund me completely and would only refund me 50% and said they were being courteous. It had way worse ghost touches than the one I replaced it with. In retrospect, I should have just filed a chargeback with my credit card company and got a full refund since I won't be using it anyways.

A few months later, I got a defective G2 off ebay for about $60. It had the wifi issue so all I had to do was replace the main board with mine which took about 5 minutes. Phone works perfectly and all my apps are still in tact.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0tekk1:
That's rather interesting, I'm gonna give this a try on 4 faulty G2's tonight! If you take a look at cheap G2's on ebay, anything under $70 will usually have a bad LCD screen with ghost touches or dead spots. It really is a shame that the screen is the only problem for a phone that still competes with flagship phones of today's era in terms of speed, screen resolution, camera, etc. I actually tested my G2 camera against all the flagships in Bestbuy the other day and the only other phone that could compete was the Galaxy S6, S7, S8, LG G6 and the iPhone. with respect to graininess.

EDIT: So I installed cloudy 2.2 on one of my very faulty touchscreen G2's and the ghost touching seems to have gone away for the most part or is much less noticeable. On stock kk or LL, the touchscreen would go crazy very randomly and click everywhere on the screen rapidly. We'll see how well this rom will do with this touch screen.

Multiple Touchscreen Inputs Hardware Issue

Guys im desperate.

Since I opened my G2 D802 for fixing the GPS signal and replacing the camera lense I have some issues with the touchscreen. My finger seams to be recognized about five times. Reopening the phone and checking the connection of the touchscreen on the pcb didn't change anything. Any help?`(the phone has barely an signs of usage)

Thanks

LG G2 Touch Problem After Update [Solved]

That's not the thing actually LG devices specially carrier phones ex. Ls980 D801 etc are refurbished to D802 and when you update your device it downloads the D802 software for your device which causes drivers conflict and occurs problem in touch and it reboots after a small time.

The Solution

1: Open the back of your phone to get real phone model.

2: Download the stock firmware for the specified model you saw on the back of your phone.

3: After you have the stock firmware open it using any hex editor search for LS980 like my device was ls980 that's why I said ls980 so put your device model in search bar (CTRL+F) type your device model and replace it to the model your device is showing on display mostly it us refurbished to D802 so replace LS980 or any other to D802 (Replace only the first search result). Flash the rom it will become normal now to its original model then again flash the rom you have downloaded without editing.

Thumbs Up if works for you.

Let's get this issue some exposure on social media.

Go to the LG G2 Owners Community on Google+ and post your experience with this issue.

Maybe we can get LG's attention.

If you are a Facebook member (I was an early-in, early-out FB member) please consider creating a FB post on the LG G2 page (I am assuming there is one) explaining this issue.

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linksmask1:
I'm having the same issues (I have Verizon). After some prolonged use, when making swiping/scrolling gesters, the phone will register screen taps and otherwise erratic behavior. Show touch data under dev options shows my normal finger swipes with ending in erratic spazes (that often contain clicks/taps).

Very frustrating problem. I'm definitely going to post on that the LG G2 owners community.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
I posted on the LG G2 Owners forum and got a bunch of responses.

I support the notion of posting on social media, although I am not certain that it'll get the attention of LG.

There's bad code in the G2 that continues to negatively affect users. I wish there was some way to make a direct connection with people at LG who might be able to prioritize fixing this code.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefallen924:
Hey guys..i seem to be having this same issue. i first thought maybe it was a rom issue as i was running cleanrom. however, after flashing over to cm10.2, i just experienced the issue. I will definitely be contacting lg via the link you guys provided. i really hope its a software issue, but seeing as how i've gotten it on both stock and cm, what do you guys think it might be? kernel related?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
First off, be vocal! Go post your issue on the link I provided.

Secondly, I am convinced that it's a software issue. Since it occurs regardless of being stock or a custom ROM, my guess that it's bad code in the binaries or drivers. Just guessing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribaldoc:
I noticed this problem on my g2 as well. It does happen intermittently and clears up if I power the screen off and on.

The problem may be a combination of hardware and software though. It seems similar in behavior to my galaxy s2. My s2 would register phantom touch inputs when I used GPS and mobile data at the same time like Google maps. It seemed like it was the heavy power draw causing it. I figured out it only happens after i flashed a kernel that contained a certain update. The kernel allows you to adjust the touch screen sensitivity. It also exhibited the same behavior if I set the sensitivity really high, then the touch input will jump around. Nobody else had that problem though. One day the phone stopped charging. I figured the USB port went bad. I opened the phone and removed the circuit board and put it back in. Everything worked fine again. It charged and no more touch problems at all. Maybe a loose connection or dust somewhere.

Just thought maybe the screen on the g2 gets too sensitive when certain conditions are met. Seems like turning the screen off and on recalibrates it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
This is a possibility as well - thanks for sharing.

Yes - turning the screen on/off will fix it for the moment.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heymoe:
I just thought I'd chime in with my touchscreen experience.

I got a Verizon LG G2 which came out of the box with the 10B software. I started to experience the touchscreen issues as being described in this thread on day one but didn't really pickup that there was a problem until a few days later because I was still getting it setup and learning the new device. I've been using a HTC Thunderbolt since they first came out until I upgraded to the G2.

Any ways, I normally use a pattern lock on my devices and I would notice that after turning the screen on (knock or the power button) that sometimes when I tried to enter my pattern it would instant fail before I even finished drawing it and sometimes the screen would power off as I was drawing the pattern. After turning the screen on again everything was fine.

I later changed to use a pin # for the lock screen which seemed to get me past the lock screen when the touchscreen was bugging out but then I would see the launch screen jitter and jump around like crazy when I tried to swap left and right. A lot of times if I stopped and didn't touch the screen for a few seconds, the touchscreen would calm down and be usable again. Other times the screen would shut off as I swipe left or right in the launcher (phantom double screen taps I'm assuming) at which point turning the screen on again, everything was fine.

I eventually did the QuickNote test that have been posted on Youtube when I noticed the screen was being buggy after turning it on. Drawing a straight line on the screen would show up in QuickNote as an EKG / heartbeat pulse just like the videos.

I decided to visit my local Verizon store to try and get a replacement but since the touchscreen issue is intermittent, I could not reproduce for them and basically to the tech at the store if they don't see it happen, it's not happening. I told them I did do their standard debugging procedures before I arrived at the store such as factory reset the phone (did it 3 times), removed my case and screen protector and still no luck getting the issue to go away. The touchscreen would still be buggy after a factory reset and the only thing I did was setup my Google account on the phone without installing any other software. They still didn't care because they are not seeing the issue first hand.

Luckily I was still within my 14 day return period so I could get a new replacement but since the phone was on a corporate account, I had to have my work go though our Verizon account rep to get the replacement.

So a few days later I received another LG G2 and this time the box showed that the new G2 had the OTA 11A already installed on it and sure enough upon booting it it did. So I took this as a good sign that my new G2 was a recent build and not old stock.

I've been using the new G2 for the last few days and so far (knock on wood) the touchscreen issue has not popped up again.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Good luck with your new device. Your story is so similar to countless others.

While we are all observing this issue via the "touchscreen", I believe it's a software issue where the G2 just gets too busy to handle simple tasks, sort of a stack overflow kind of thing, and once in this state, things like phantom taps, wild scrolling and other erratic behavior overtakes the device. I am not convinced that it's something "wrong" with the touchscreen at all, just as when medical patients complain of hearburn, but it's actually a heart attack. Sure feels like a "heartburn problem" to them.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefallen924:
Hey Billy, thanks for your continued work on trying to get this issue acknowledged. i will be sending my phone back to LG on monday for a replacement. anticipating it, i went back to completely stock firmware and only downloaded a couple of apps.and have not experienced it so far but its been less than 24 hours. im sure the problem will arise again. when i spoke to customer service rep, he told me a tech would inspect the device and either repair it or issue a new one. my question is, how will they be able to do so if theres no clear way of triggering this? were you issued a replacement without any type of explanation as to what was done to possibly resolve the issue? Just curious as to the whole repair process,
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Mine was an exchange with WireFly within the 14-day return period. Got a new G2 with no questions asked. Didn't matter though, as my replacement turned out to exhibit the same issues exactly like my first G2.

My bet is that they will just give you a new one - as they will probably not be able to reproduce this issue on first try.

Good luck with that.

Forced CPU Rendering (2D Hardware Acceleration)

Hi billykxda,

I´ve just bought my LG G2_D802 a couple of days ago.Thankfully I have not yet experienced any of the problems that some of you guys have but it´s still early days.

But what I did do, almost as soon as I got the phone was: go into settings-Developer Options- and switched off all animations (makes the phone noticeably snappier and not so laggy) and I also ticked (switched On)"Force GPU rendering" (supposed to help with making the UI smoother) which is important considering how many people are complaining about the choppy and stuttering when scrolling. Check out this video to see what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKV39MPZw30

Also, you say that this normally happens after HEAVY usage.When this happens,how many apps do you have running in the background?

A lot of apps running in the background might contribute to this happening. I´m certainly no expert on any of this matter but maybe it will help us understand why this is happening and help us find a work around to the problem until hopefully, LG can fix up the problem with their next update.

Hope anything I´ve mentioned helps. :fingers-crossed:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Thanks for sharing!

I am very aware of the possibility of lack of available RAM as the cause of this issue - so I agree. Next time I get this erratic behavior, I plan to keep the display on (turning it off fixes the issue temporarily) but quickly dump all running apps (using the Task Manager) to see if it immediately fixes the issue. Would be a good additional clue in solving the cause of this issue.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norside:
I really hope that lg fix this problem, but I doubt a bit if they will ever do it.. :-$ I haven't experinced this issue in two-three weeks now, so I am totally happy with my phone as it is now :good: Can say that my g2 is a little bit over a month old.

But yes, this is a pretty weird issue and it is not easy to find out what it is.. Is it anyone on this forum who is able to do a deep search in the software to try to find out what is causing this problem?

And a last question, is lg aware of this issue at all?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Don't know of anyone that is looking into the code.

Regarding your second question, I've posted on the LG G2 G+ Community page and got a handful of people involved in the discussion. I am not sure that a cold call into "Tech Support" will result in anything other than a suggestion for me to get another G2. Been there - no need to repeat. If anyone has any insight into how to get LG's attention, if would be great to hear from you!

If any of you are TWIG (This Week In Google) netcast fans, you might be interested in knowing that I contacted Jeff Jarvis for his suggestions on how to get the attention of a large tech company when there is something wrong with a tech product. If you are familiar with Jeff, you already know that he is a leader in the industry in doing just this. He was wonderful to communicate with, and his suggestion was to use social media - hence my post on G+. I am not a Facebook person any longer (early in, early out), and I am not involved with Twitter either.

If any of you want to take the baton and post in the most conspicuous way on either of those social media channels, please do, please point them to this thread and the one on AC, and report back here so that we know what progress you may have made.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisphoenix7:
...Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

In all seriousness though, does it do it with KnockOn OFF?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Yes. It was established early in this thread that turning the screen off/on resolves the condition temporarily. Therefore, doing anything that involves turning the screen off/on (like clicking the button on the back, knock off/on, rebooting it, etc.) will also work.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefallen924:
No, he meant turning the screen off and then back on. I got my g2 4 days ago. it had already been rooted, i experienced this issue on every rom i tried. finally i reverted everything back to stock unrooted on Friday night and havent experienced it since. I'll keep you guys updated. Also posted on the G+ page. I contacted LG and they told me to send it in for a replacement, but with thanksgiving coming up, it would probably take about 2 weeks. Only replacement phone i have in the meantime is an iphone 4(yuck), so i decided to give it about a week to see if we can find out more info on the issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTanker23:
First G2 I had had the high pitched buzzing sound in the earpiece so I returned it. Second one didn't have the buzzing but had the touchscreen issues. After about 20+ minutes the touchscreen would register phantom touches and super fast scrolling. I opened up quick memo and got the EKG-like lines when trying to draw a straight line. Returned it today and got another one (my third one in a week). Let's hope this one doesn't have any bugs or else I'm going to have to go to the HTC One, S4, or Moto X.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
Just for clarification, I had said turning the screen off/on, in any manner you wish, is just a temp fix. "Having KnockOn turned off in settings" isn't what was said. Didn't want you to be misinformed!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billykxda:
I sincerely hope that your 3rd G2 works for you.

If the same issue surfaces, don't be totally surprised. I believe that the software bug that's behind this issue is far pravalent than most suspect.

For me, I've found the G2 to be so amazing on so many fronts, that I am uncharacteristically willing to work around this issue - at least for now.

But I am really dedicated to getting the word out about this bug, and would love to hear that LG is investigating it so that so many of us don't have to go through the replacement process over/over again. I can't imagine that LG is happy with the number of G2 returns, when it's likely a software issue that can be addressed.
